Lovely, well-equipped cottage in a wonderfully peaceful rural location. The summer-house is a real bonus enabling those staying to make the most of the landscape views without being exposed to the elements (or the midges).

Cosy and comfortable cottage in an idyllic and rural location. Fantastic attention to detail and a lovely welcome hamper plus super toiletries too. Good location for exploring the local area by car, but equally good for local walks from the door. The summerhouse is wonderful for watching the local wildlife. Hawes is close by with shops and places Read moreto eat. The lake district is within an hours drive. But we loved returning to the tranquility of Blades each evening and just relaxing and chilling out. Hide

The cottage was adorable. The interior was so lovely and pretty. An excellent welcome hamper was included. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location was exactly as described. The company kept me well informed of the booking/times/ key pick up point etc.
